With fans petitioning Delta Goodrem’s record label this week to release her Commonwealth Games opening ceremony single, ‘Together We Are One’, the singer was feeling a huge sense of relief and pride. “That meant a lot to me … I don’t think anyone realizes how much, after everything that has happened,” she said, referring to criticism over her mother/manager and negative remarks about whether she played a role in Brian McFadden’s split with Kerry Katona. “I couldn’t see anyone, the crowd or the athletes, through the smoke from the fireworks when I performed the song. I really felt like I was the only person on the field. And then when I came off stage and walked through this back area in the stadium and all these volunteers were lined up and started clapping. I got really emotional. I didn’t know what to say besides ‘thank you, thank you’.”
